PREFACE

The current volume of JULIUS CAHN'S OFFICIAL
THEATRICAL GUIDE is the eighth edition that has been offered
as a thesaurus of statistics both to members of the dramatic pro-
fession and to travelling men. THE GUIDE is an excepted book
of reference, gives definite information concerning theatres, news-
papers, hotels and railroads in every city and town of any importance
as an amusement centre, and is daily consulted as an authority by
all managers and players throughout the United States and
Canada.

This issue has been thoroughly elaborated, and surpasses its
predecessors in detail and authenticity. An absolutely correct,
national managers' directory of thirty-five hundred names, together
with particulars from two hundred new houses, has been incorpo-
rated in the tabulation, making the book, in its present condition,
the most complete compendium of theatrical knowledge ever com-
piled.

On the first of every month, from September until May, a
supplementary edition is published in pamphlet form, containing a
thirty-day route of every important road company, and an editorial
and general resume of the theatrical outlook. THE MONTHLY
SUPPLEMENT is mailed FREE OF CHARGE, sufficiently in
advance to admit of correspondence with companies two weeks
before they reach your city.

The publisher offers his sincere thanks for the co-operation of
advertisers, managers, subscribers, and members of the dramatic
profession who have contributed in any way to the perfection of
volume VIII.

COPYRIGHT AND COMMON LAW PROTECTION.

Written by Louis Steckler, Counsellor-at-Law,
No. 99 Nassau Street, New York City.

COPYRIGHT.

The question of the requirements for the copy-
righting of any dramatic or musical composition
has gone through various stages of amendment until
at the present time not only the requirements on
the part of the author or composer in complying
with the Copyright Law, but the protection to
which such author or composer is entitled, has
practically become settled, and there can now no
longer be any doubt that the author or composer
who has in every respect complied with the Copy-
right Law, is in a position now to fully protect
hi;; rights, and the careful, conscientious person
who desires to produce such author's composition,
must obtain the consent in writing, as provided
by the Statute, or he will be in fear of a sum-
mary process, which will forthwith among other
things stop any unauthorized production.

The Copyright Laws, as now in force, and as
they have been recently construed by the United
States Courts, are such that the manager of a play-
house throughout the United States must be satis-
fied that the attraction booking in his house has
the rights to the musical and dramatic composition
which it is about to produce, or the manager of the
house will find himself in a position where he per-
sonally will he held in damages for an unauthorized
production by the author or composer or owner of
such musical or dramatic composition.

The dealer in plajss, who, without authority of
the author first having been obtained, as required
by Statute, deals in the material of a copyrighted
musical or dramatic composition, or who surrep-
titiously produces what purports to be a manuscript
of such copyrighted composition, will find himself
in a position where all copies or alleged copies of
said composition found in his possession are forth-
with seized, and forfeited to the author or owner
of the copyright; besides which said dealer is
liable to the author or owner of the copyright in
the sum of One Dollar for every sheet of such
composition found in his possession.

In a recent copyright action in the City of Chi-
cago, after due process of Law, the premises of a
Manuscript Society were broken into, and all copies
in the possession of this society were forfeited, and
an injunction was obtained enjoining the proprietor,
his agents, employees and attorneys from using
or offering for sale any copies or alleged copies
of said composition, and an injunction was ob-
tained enjoining those who purchased copies sur-
reptitiously obtained of the play in question from
pioducing such play; besides which the proprietor
is liable for $1.00 for every sheet found in the pos-
session of the said Society.

At the same time, three individuals who had pur-
chased such manuscripts were compelled by due
process of Law to deliver them to the owners of
the copyrighted composition referred to.

It will thus be seen that the author or owner of
a copyrighted musical or dramatic composition who

has fully complied with the Law is protected in
every way, and that the person or persons who de-
sire to produce any play which has been copy-
righted must satisfy themselves that they are mak-
ing a contract for the rights to produce a copy-
righted composition with the real party in inter-
est, and that the permission must be in writing
and signed in the presence of two or more wit-
nesses and the manager of the playhouse, who will
book an attraction or permit the attraction to play
at his house without first having seen the permis-
sion referred to, will run the chance of having his
house darkened by injunction proceedings; and
unless he can show that he was imposed upon after
making every fair effort to satisfy himself will
find himself liable for damages in addition thereto.
At the present time, when our newspapers are so
fully alive to publication of all musical and
dramatic matters, when the success of a musical
or dramatic composition is forthwith flashed all.
over the country, and those who are responsible for
the success of the production of such composi-
tion, including the authors, managers, and others
are so well known, the careful, conscientious man-
ager, who desires to produce any musical or
dramatic compositions, can well protect himself,
and if he is acting in good faith will get his
material and permission to produce from well estab-
lished and honorable agencies, who can guarantee
him full protection, and not from those piratical
concerns which are so well known to all man-
agers, and whose business it is to profit by the
successes which others have made surreptitiously
and in fraud of the rights of those who are en-
titled to the fruits of their labor. -

And the manager who deals with the piratical
individual or manuscript society and purchases
contraband material is likely at any moment to
find himself in the clutches of the Law, where the
remedies are many fold and severe, affecting as
they do, not only the personal property of the per-
son or corporation proceeded against, but the lib-
erty of the individual as well by having imprison-
ment for one year staring him in the face.

As there have been several instances where actors
and actresses who took part in unauthorized pro-
ductions of musical or dramatic composition have
found it necessary to obtain bail hurriedly; and
there have been several convictions in which, how
ever, the complainants have personally requested
suspension of sentence, feeling that it would be a
particular hardship to imprison the convicted pei-
sons.

Even the actor or actress who signs a contract
with a manager to take part in any production
or attraction must satisfy him or herself that the
party they sign with has the right to produce the
dramatic or musical compositions which they are
engaged to interpret.

There is also a serious penalty attached on be-
half of the person who prints upon any composi-
tion the indication that the same has been copy-
righted, unless such copyright has been entirely
granted.

ETHEL BARRYMORE

DIRECTION CHARLES FROHMAN

COPYRIGHT AND COMMON LAW PROTECTION— Continued.

The general copyright statutes apply to citizens of
a foreign state or nation, when such foreign state
or nation permit to the citizens of the United
States of America the benefit of copyright on sub-
stantially the same basis as to its own citizens.

The blanks for obtaining copyrights with full
directions can be obtained from the Librarian of
Congress, at Washington, District of Columbia, and
must be followed strictly.

The Librarian of Congress has no discretion which
would enable him to determine the validity of a
copyright nor the priority or infringement there-
of; all questions of this nature must be decided
by the United States courts.

There is quite a serious difference of opinion
among authorities as to whether a typewritten copy
is sufficient on making the first entry, but the
writer refers to the official application for copyright,
from which he quotes, "The law distinctly specifies
the printed title." If the type-written title is sent
it is at the claimant's risk.

Following the same subject, and referring to
Section 4956 of the Revised Statutes, in which it is
set forth: "That in the case of a book, chromo,
photograph or lithograph, the copies of the same
required to be delivered or deposited as above shall
be printed from type set within the limits of the
United States or from transfers made therefrom,"
the writer expresses it as his opinion that a musical
or dramatic composition, when deposited with the
Librarian of Congress, becomes a book, and as such
must be printed as hereinbefore referred to; and
it is the writer's opinion that any copyright which
does not strictly follow the provisions of the Re-
vised Statutes, may be declared null and void in
any action that might be brought with reference to
such copyright.

One of the best masters of Chancery, in Chi-
cago, Illinois, who is familiar with the copyright
question has ruled that a type-written copy of a
dramatic composition, filed subsequently to the third
day of March, 1891, did not give the proprietor a
valid copyright.

The certificates of filing of title and the subse-
quent deposit of two copies, both obtained from the
Librarian of Congress, are prima facie evidence of
the securing of the copyright by the author or pro-
prietor; but in any action it is possible to go fully
into the question as to whether the law has been
fully followed or whether the copyright is valid.

At the present time American citizens may claim
copyrights in the hereinafter named foreign coun-
tries, and the citizens of the countries named may
likewise obtain copyrights in this country: Belgium,
France, Great Britain and the British possessions,
and Switzerland. Germany, Italy, Denmark, Portu-
gal, Spain, Mexico, Chile, Costa Rica, and Nether-
lands and the possessions of Netherlands.

If an American citizen desires to obtain a copy-
right in any of the foreign countries hereinabove
mentioned, he must comply with the copyright pro-
visions of the particular country, but in all cases
where the American citizen desires any foreign copy-
right protection simultaneously with his application
in the United States of America, and should so ar-

range the final publication that he deposits the
copies required prior to the date of publication in
any country.

COMMON LAW.

Even though our Statutes thoroughly protect
copyrighted musical and dramatic compositions!
there is absolutely nothing in our Statutes nor in
the decisions interpreting our Statutes which pro-
hibits or does not fully protect the author of the
dramatic or musical composition who prefers to re-
tain his work in manuscript form and who thus in-
vokes the aid of the Common Law Protection for
his property.

The line of decisions upon the question of Com-
mon Law Protection will protect the author abso-
lutely, so long as he does not print or permit to
be printed for publication such manuscript.

Injunctions are obtained against any one pro-
ducing a manuscript dramatic or musical composi-
tion without authority, and dealers in manuscripts
or. musical and dramatic compositions will be en-
joined from dealing in them, unless they can show
that they have the rights from the author or his
duly authorized agent; and theatrical companies
who, without authority from the author or his duly
authorized agent,- produce a dramatic or musical
composition retained in manuscript form, will be
enjoined, and the manuscripts found in their pos-
session or from which said composition was pro-
duced, will be forfeited to the author or his duly
authorized agent.

The United States Revised Statutes specifically de-
clare that "every person who shail print or publish
any manscript whatever without the consent of the
author or proprietor first obtained, shall be liable
to the author or proprietor for all damages occa-
sioned by such -injury," and the various courts,
both Federal and State, have repeatedly cases of
manuscript dramatic and musical compositions en-
joined theatrical companies from producing the
same, and have assessed damages against them ;
and in certain of the States special acts have been
recently passed which provide for imprisonment of
any persons who perform, permit, aid or take part
in unauthorized performances, whether they be of
an unpublished, undedicated or copyrighted dra-
matic or musical compositions.

Thus it is apparent that both under the Common
Law and under the United States Revised Statutes,
the author or composer of a dramatic or musical
composition is fully protected, and that those en-
gaged in the tjnafrical ri"i.'«inti as actors,
actresses, managers of companies or managers of
houses or proprietors thereof, if they desire to
avoid unnecessary annoyance and expense -will re-
spect the rights of such authors, whether the same
be claimed by copyright or under the protection of
the Common Law.

In cases where contracts have been made or per-
mission legally granted for the rights to produce
a musical or dramatic composition upon the pay-
ment of royalties to the author or his authorized
agent, or to the owner of the manuscript or copy-
right or his agent, the Courts have invariably upon
the request of the parties entitled thereto enjoined
the further production, in case the royalties have
not been paid pursuant to the written agreement
between the parties.

It is therefore advisable that every manager of
a theatrical company producing royalty paying
plays insist upon receipts, so that he may be able

Our own original method of building
Auditoriums. Not one seat in
our many theatres that does not
command a full view of the
stage. Stage arrangements equal
to any in the country.

The acoustics always perfect.

"We show everything on the plans
and specifications so minutely
that nothing is left to the imagin-
ation. It gives the contractors
an opportunity to figure intelli-
gently on everything necessary
for the building complete, and
leaves no excuse for the usual
BILL OF EXTRAS.
claim that we save you from
10 to 15 per cent, on account
of the very completeness of our
plans.

OUR MANY THEATRES ARE
GIVING THE GREATEST
OF SATISFACTION.

For line of vision from auditorium
to stage we claim our theatres
beat the world.

Best Show Towns West of Chicago

Practically every good show town between
Chicago and Denver and between St. Paul, Minneap-
olis and Ft. Worth, is on the Rock Island System.

There are more of them, and they are, as a rule,
bigger than on any other western railroad.

A company could start out from Chicago and
spend two solid months in Rock Island territory,
showing only at Rock Island towns, traveling only
on Rock Island trains and buying tickets only via
the Rock Island System.

What is more, the strong probability is that, if
they did so, they would make more money and have
fewer disagreeable experiences than by jumping
from this line to that and criss-crossing up and down
the map.

We are now compiling data as to opera houses
in the fourteen states and territories traversed by
our lines. The data will be ready in time for
use next fall. It will give the name of the theatre
and the Manager, seating capacity and prices, as
well as information likely to be of value to stage
managers.

Every theatrical booking agency, every advance
man — every one, in short, who has need for informa-
tion of this kind, should write for a copy.

Mexico is undoubtedly a coming theat- Ground floor.

rical field for recognized and worthy oper-
atic, spectacular and musical attractions,
as the theatre-goers are appreciative and
pay liberally for meritorious entertain-
ments. The theatres are now mostly con-
trolled by sharing managers, the news-
papers generous with space, and the rail-
roads make rates of 1J/2 to 2 cents a mile
for parties of five or more, and are con-
trolled and operated by Americans of
broad and liberal views. The duty on
printing taken into Mexico from the
United States has lately been withdrawn,
although now in a few cities a small tax
or nominal charge is made for the privi-
lege of billing and advertising. The laws
of Mexico are very rigid regarding the-
atrical advertising; every scene and act
must be produced as represented, failure
of which is subject to a heavy fine by the
Governor of the city.
